of the rest of the day's news with ben brown in bbc newsroom. riz, thank you. us president donald trump has admitted his son met a russian lawyer injune 2016 in order "to get information on an opponent", but argues it was legal. it is the president's most direct statement so far on the reason for donald trumer‘s meeting with the kremlin—linked lawyer natalia veselnitskaya. special counsel robert mueller is investigating us intelligence findings that russians conspired to sway the election in mr trump's favour. president trump denies any collusion. just a week after the last one, another deadly earthquake has struck indonesia, killing more than 90 people on lombok island. hundreds are reported to have been injured. running for their lives as the earthquake struck, people at this hotel in lombok dashed to safety.

others simply called on god as they felt the power of mother nature. traumatised survivors faced a night outside, the buildings too unsafe after two after—shocks. at this hospital near the epicentre, patients had to be moved outside. many of the injured from across the region were transferred to nearby bali, which also felt the quake. doctors and nurses desperately tried to save lives in conditions that were farfrom ideal. translation: we will place patients here in the parking lot and also in the hallway of the hospital. we will build emergency tents so our medical teams can concentrate on handling patients. as rescuers search for people amongst what's left of the buildings, hope, as a survivor is found. unable to walk but alive. it's just a week since another quake hit in a region that is prone to them.

there are no guarantees when the next one might be or when it will be safe for these people to return to their homes. lebo diseko, bbc news. the family of the third young person from britain to die at an apartment block in magaluf in majorca say they are shocked by the lack of support they received from the uk authorities in the first few days after being told the news. 18—year—old tom channon‘s body was found at the eden roc apartments last month. it is believed he fell over a wall and plunged 70 feet. his parents have told this programme they had no guidance in the aftermath of their son's death. we were shocked. it was unbelievable. absolutely unbelievable that at the most important time in your lives, there wasn't somebody there to say, this is who you need to contact and this is who will be coming to, you know, guide you through the whole process. and you can see our full interview with tom channon‘s parents before 9.30. england cricketer ben stokes will go

on trial today accused of affray. the 27—year—old all—rounder and two other men are jointly charged with the offence after an alleged incident in the clifton area of bristol last september, several hours after england had played a one—day international against the west indies in the city. stokes and the other men, ryan ali and ryan hale, all deny the charge. police have rescued ii emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing toddler raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there but the others were, along with five adults. two men have been arrested. us pop star demi lovato has spoken for the first time since she was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected overdose last month. in an instagram post, the 25—year—old singer said that she has always been transparent about herjourney with addiction, and that it is something she will

continue to try to overcome. plans to build homes on land soon to be released from the green belt will not help young families get on to the property ladder, according to the campaign to protect rural england. it says 78% of planned developments on greenfield sites do not fall under the government's "affordable" definition. ministers say green belt protections are being strengthened. tim muffett reports. the first green belts were designated in the 19505 to stop towns and cities sprawling indefinitely. but it's claimed today that much of this protected land faces a bigger threat than ever. the campaign to protect rural england has been analysing planning applications. we're seeing an unprecedented level of housing planned for the green belt, we're seeing plans for 460,000 homes to be built in the next few years. we're absolutely for the right housing in the right place, but we don't think green belt is the right place. today's report claims that over 70% of housing built on green belt land

is unaffordable to those on average incomes. it calls for housing to be built on previously used land, or brownfield sites, instead. but with the government aiming to build 300,000 homes a year by the mid—2020s, some believe the greenbelts can't be avoided. the institute of economic affairs is a think tank that promotes free—market views. we've seen the green belt basically double in size over the last a0 years. if we are not willing to look at some of it which is fit for development then we'll have a permanent housing crisis in britain, not a short to medium—term one. the government says the number of new homes built last year was the in a decade and that only 0.02% of green belt land was developed for housing. it says councils should only give planning permission in exceptional circumstances. tim muffett, bbc news. the cost of rural crime soared

to £16 million last year — its highest level since 2013. farmers are resorting to almost medieval defence methods like digging trenches to tackle a growing wave of vehicle, equipment and livestock theft by organised gangs. police say high—level criminals are using the proceeds to fund more serious offences like drug and gun trafficking. president trump has declared a major emergency in california, as wildfires rage across the state. thousands of firefighters have been deployed, tackling blazes which have been spread by high temperatures and strong winds. so far, seven people have died and thousands evacuated. our north america correspondent chris buckler reports. for more than a week, parts of california have been in a state of emergency. and now, as a result of the damage, destruction and deaths caused by these ferocious wildfires, the white house has declared this a major disaster.

we have displaced nearly 40,000 plus people. there has been about 1300 plus homes that have been destroyed. but on the good part we have repopulated many areas and got people back into their homes as quickly as possible. skylines across a series of states including utah have been lit up by the wildfires. a spectacular sight but everyone here knows what is at risk. we stayed as long as we couldn't valley until the fla mes long as we couldn't valley until the fla m es we re long as we couldn't valley until the flames were not at 360 degrees around the area but close enough that we decided to get out. in california alone more than 1000 aircraft and fire engines are being used in the attempt to bring the fires under control. but it is proving extraordinarily difficult. firefighters from new zealand and

australia are flying in to try to tackle the fire north of sacramento, another major blaze. in this state well over 14,000 people have been involved in a huge effort to put out these flames. but this is only the start of the wildfires season and there is a clear fear of what california could face in the weeks ahead. chris buchler, bbc news. four captive japanese brown bears have travelled nearly 5,000 miles from japan to their new home in yorkshire. it's a huge move for the bears, who have spent their life in confined conditions in a museum injapan. now they will have a newly—built 2.5—acre reserve all to themselves, as fiona lamdin reports. for the last three decades, this has been home to hanako, a brown bear living in a museum in northern japan. her cage so small she has only ever been able to take two steps. but four days ago, that all changed. first, the oldest male,

abu, is sedated by vets. and, despite prods from hanako, his next—door neighbour, he remains asleep, while all 350 kilograms of him is stretchered out to a truck. we started at 4am this morning. it is now 9am and all four bears are in the cranes and being strapped into the lorry. and here begins their 5,000 milejourney. the main concern keeping four bears cool in 43 degrees heat. it is a well—planned operation. fans at the ready to spray the bears, sheets of ice and buckets or watermelon. two flights later, four bears arrive at heathrow. i was sitting on the plane thinking no one knows there are four brown bears sitting underneath us. it was quite surreal! nowjust opening the gate.

and these the first tentative steps into their new home in yorkshire. they could do very little on the concrete floor. it all started two years ago when this animal welfare expert saw the bears in japan. if a bear could express happiness, this would be it. bears spend up to 18 hours foraging. he hasn't been able to do that. they are really powerful. for the first time he was able to use his claws and dig. well, kai is 17 and it is the first time in his entire life he has ever been able to take a bath. getting out, well, that proved a little more problematic. but this is his new, permanent home. so he has a lifetime to master it. fiona lambin, bbc news. let's hope they enjoy life in yorkshire. that's a summary of the latest

i see walking down to get the college bus, isee him walking down to get the college bus, i see him reversing down the drive. ifi i see him reversing down the drive. if i see him in the back garden i see him practising his tennis serve. there is nowhere in this house, village or anywhere i don't see him every single minute of every day. village or anywhere i don't see him every single minute of every daym is nearly four weeks since a third young person from britain fell to their death at the same apartment block in magaluf. thom shannon died on his first night out during his first foreign holiday without his family. this is where they held his wake. there were people standing and it was a real testament to him because it showed how many people, particularly young people who just wanted to come and celebrate tom. tom's family have invited us to spend the day with them.” tom's family have invited us to spend the day with them. i said to tom, things are different abroad, don't assume the same standards as here. i had a conversation with him in the garden. it was the usual, ma'am, you worry too much. tom and

his friends had just finished their a—levels and had done well so went to magaluf to celebrate. he motivated the rest of us to do well and revise. he was doing well and everybody thought, tom is going to get these good grades, we have got to keep up with him. tom was very close with his parents. in the first 24 hours he text them updates come including he was disappointed england were out of the world cup. he said he was gutted with the football. i said, he said he was gutted with the football. isaid, hope he said he was gutted with the football. i said, hope you still manage to have a good evening and we will speak tomorrow. there was a fraud, a real flood at the door. i we nt fraud, a real flood at the door. i went out and there were two policeman there. i felt something was wrong, you don't get policeman coming to your door. i looked at him, andl coming to your door. i looked at him, and i said, is it kerry or is

it tom? those horrible words, are you the father of... as soon as he said that, i knew it was something bad. that was it, they came in and i had to try and break the news to his brothers. they were clearly distraught and i'm trying to comfort them, but at the same time, the policeman was saying, i had to contact kerry. i had a missed call, so contact kerry. i had a missed call, soi contact kerry. i had a missed call, so i rang straight back. word for word, john said to me, there has been a terrible accident. it is tom and he didn't make it. i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe it. still to this day, i don't believe it. i still think it is a bad nightmare and tom is going to come home. you cannot believe you have got to make that call. for me, i was

helpless, i could hear kerry on the other end of the phone and you can imagine how awful it was. 1300 miles away from their son, the family were desperate for answers. they issue and this was where the british authorities would help. we had no idea how, was it on a beach, a boat trip, had he banged his head, a heart attack? we had no information. the police officers who came were fantastic. they were kind, caring and considerate. but when they had to go on, it was only then we discovered, to our horror, there was fio discovered, to our horror, there was no support. no support officer came m, no support. no support officer came in, no liaison officer, no one followed in, no liaison officer, no one followe d u p in, no liaison officer, no one followed up after they left. john and kerry eventually got through to the consulate in majorca but said they were made to wait hours for support or information. they found out about the truth about his death from his friends. i think people

watching would be shocked that it's how you are treated and you were sort of left to fend for yourselves? we were shocked, it was absolutely unbelievable that at the most important time in your lives, there wasn't somebody there to say, this is who you contact and this is who will be coming to guide you through the process. desperate to take some control, the family agreed john would fly out to magaluf to try to bring his son's home. he also wanted to see the spot where he had fallen 70 feet to his death. when he did, he was appalled. this eden roc complex is only a couple of blocks away from the hotel tom was staying in. a couple of buildings. that is right, if you stand at the entrance there is a vehicle access which is locked but then there is pedestrian gate which you can open. but if you

stand at the gate, certainly at 3am in the morning, which is what we did, we went back to see it at that very time, it isn't very well lit. if you look at cross to the far corner, you can see, just over the far corner, and light from the next h and it is the light above the reception. so actually it looks very much like it is a short cut. there is of wall, it is at knee height for me, but tom was six feet high so we would have been lower for him. all you can see is would have been lower for him. all you can see is some would have been lower for him. all you can see is some foliage growing over it some plants. if you had never seen over it some plants. if you had never seen this place in daylight, you would have absolutely no idea that beyond the wall was literally a drop, nothing there at all. i cannot tell you the anger... there is a mixture of disbelief. you are

crying, looking at it, but at the same time incredible anger. because you think it would only take a very short time just to put up the sort of temporary structure that actually was put up. this is the other thing that makes it worse. even after tom had fallen, it took several weeks before the authorities put pressure on those legally responsible for the eden roc apartment block, actually to put up some temporary structure. john and kerry sobol of the hardest about losing tom is they believe his death could have been avoided. five weeks earlier, another boy, tom hughes fell to his death at a similar spot at the same apartment. no fences were put up a warning signs displayed. it took another death and a lot of campaigning for that to happen. in april,

19—year—old natalie cormack also died at eden roc after trying to climb from one balcony to another. have you ever heard from the people who own eden roc? no, only to see report in the spanish papers that one of the owners thought it was the safest place in magaluf. the bbc has made repeated attempts to contact the resort‘s owners. the foreign office says it is assisting the family with contact with the spanish authorities. seven days after his death, tom was brought back to his family home in south wales. to this day it causes me real incredulity. he was home and i was so pleased. so pleased i had him to bring home. he was in the adjacent room. we were

able to go in and sit with him, which we probably did most days, every day. i would go in in the morning, say good morning and sit and talk to him. both brothers were able to come in and it was a whole week we had him. the day of the funeral, it was dreadful. that was the worst because you were giving him up again and he had to go. that was the worst day. everything was, as you say, just below. you don't ta ke as you say, just below. you don't take notice of the people around you. my only awareness, because it isa you. my only awareness, because it is a relatively small church and churchyard, they're just seem to be people everywhere. megan, we were telling you about earlier, this was his girlfriend for such a long time. you both come here every day? every day. every day. usually twice a day.

it is so fantastic to see so many tributes. if he knewi it is so fantastic to see so many tributes. if he knew i was there, he would be saying, i am sorry, i didn't mean to cause this pain. he was selfless, and ifeel that didn't mean to cause this pain. he was selfless, and i feel that whilst we feel this much pain and anger, he cannot rest. but i cannot rest until the person who is accountable is brought tojustice. that was anna collinson reporting. we'll be talking to the mp for the channon family after ten o'clock. within the last half hour the latest figures for new car sales in the uk show a slight increase. sales of diesel cars however fell by nearly a quarter. our business correspondent ben bland is here what is behind these figures? motor manufacturers and traders are saying

good weather and attractive sales office have helped push this rise, this 1.2% rise in new car registrations. it equates to sales of 106 to, almost 164,000 in the last month in july. of 106 to, almost 164,000 in the last month injuly. when you look at the bigger picture, it is not quite so rosy. you have overall sales for the year, down 5.5% to this point. some factors are helping, things like personal finance schemes. people getting those cars on lease hire deals where they will put down a deposit, pay monthly amount over three years and at the end they have the option of either keeping the car, paying off the rest or a lot of the time they will get a new one. that is helping the industry in terms of the for cars. but other factors going against it as well and we have seen that in particular with diesel. are we surprised by the drop in diesel cars? the drop is quite

sharp, 24% fall in sales of diesel ca rs. sharp, 24% fall in sales of diesel cars. we saw similar, last year towards the end of last year, they we re towards the end of last year, they were plummeting as well. again, that is down to the government's drive to get rid of diesel cars off the road, saying they want to phase them out because of air pollution concerns. but is still a couple of decades away, but it seems as though people who are buying new cars are taking it into account in terms of making their choices. it was partially offset by sales of hybrid cars going up. they went up by something like 20%. but that is not quite enough to com pletely 20%. but that is not quite enough to completely offset the fall in diesel ca rs. completely offset the fall in diesel cars. so a mixed picture for the car industry in the uk. the chief executive of the trade body said the feel—good factor, the sport, the

sunshine and the good weather helped july sales pick up, so they are obviously trying to talk up the picture as much as they can. but to anyone looking at the figures, there are some concerns. with these things, it is useful to look at a monthly figure, but you have to look at the longer term trend to see the direction things are going in. with the latest, thank you. still to come. we'll speak to katie gee, who was volunteering in zanzibar when one man on a moped hurled acid in herface and changed her life forever. now five years on, and seventy operations later, katie has recovered from many of her injuries. and we will speak to a woman who had cancer of the volvo about her attempt to improve awareness about many gynaecological health conditions —— cancer of the volvo. time for the latest news — here's ben brown. a man is due to appear

is investigating us intelligence findings that russians conspired to sway the election in mr trump's favour. president trump denies any collusion. the england cricketer ben stokes has arrived at court today, where he's going on trial accused of affray. the 27—year—old all—rounder and two other men are jointly charged with the offence after an alleged incident in the clifton area of bristol last september, several hours after england had played a one—day international against the west indies in the city. all the men deny the charge. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more from me at ten. thank you ben. here's some sport now with holly hamilton. coming up, it has been her dream since she was seven and now georgia hall becomes the first british

was on so much medication and distracted, i had family and friends with me and i wasjust distracted, i had family and friends with me and i was just happy to be backin with me and i was just happy to be back in london with people i trusted, surgeons and doctors. when andy, my surgeon, said will do this on monday and on wednesday would that i just went with it. on monday and on wednesday would that ijust went with it. i had to trust him. for viewers watching, we will show pictures of your injuries and some people may find them quite distressing. yes. we mentioned that you have had over 70 operations, can you have had over 70 operations, can you give an example of some of them, i know that you had to have your ear reconstructed from tissue from your rib. junior surgeon named basically broke my rib, it to be amputated because there was no blood flow, he broke my rib, took a blood vessel from the top of my leg, and other 312 hour surgeries he reconstructed and rebuild my air canal because it

closed from the scottish scene. so now i can hear again. where did you find the strength? these must have been dark times. felt had no choice. i knew how bad life could be if i let this consume everything. obviously i was very sad for a long time but i worked really hard knowing how bad life was and wanting to get on with it and having a good life from then on. is it true that you were told to eat more calories, thousands, more than an athlete because you needed to be robustly surgeries? i was on 5000 calories a day for the first month, i would be welcome and 5am for chocolate protein shakes. and i had a food tubes about a lot of calories. i don't know if i really ate 5000! that's what they told you. when did you feel strong enough, both

physically and mentally, to venture outside? i think physically is much sooner outside? i think physically is much sooner than mentally. it is so hard when you put in a situation where you look completely different to how you look completely different to how you used to, small things like people staring makes you feel so different so there are lots of elements. i didn't go out at night for three years. during the day it was likely slow. i was at the hospital but in terms of socialising and doing normal things it took a long time to get used to it. you have praised medical staff. i imagine you had a close relationship with surgeons. what to want to say to them? they completely saved me. my to them? they completely saved me. my surgeon andy has been amazing, i probably saw him more than my friends in the first few years. he was unbelievable. we used to texas and ifi was unbelievable. we used to texas and if i had any worries he was a lwa ys and if i had any worries he was always there. they really do go

above and beyond for people. we mentioned the physical scars and we have shown some of them. what about the emotional and mental scars? for me it didn't so much kick in for me until about six months or so, it was more when my friends went to university and i was at hospital every day and then you are more aware that things would change any time soon. that is got upset and quite anxious, the debate with ptsd and things like that and nightmares. they never caught the person that did this to you. did that make it harder to move on? in a way, yes. because it was in another country it is easy to separate myself from it and compartmentalised it, so in a way, it was something that was on my mind, buti way, it was something that was on my mind, but i knew in the back of my head that they wouldn't be caught and it was not realistic. i didn't

tell myself they would be caught when it was not realistic. you have now graduated with a 21, congratulations, what does the future hold? i graduated in december and started working with charities, changing faces and another one, and that's when i started setting up my youtube and that kind of thing. and i have a newjob that starts in september. congratulations. we have heard more and more about acid attacks in the uk. what is your message to those who seek to use acid as a weapon? what did you say to them? it is so harmful. i don't think people understand the damage it causes, not just think people understand the damage it causes, notjust the physical and emotional and the trauma. it's unimaginable for people who don't actually go through it. just, think twice about it. i don't know. don't do it. how are your family? a good.

it was really hard initially especially format mum because sears such a warrior anyway. —— she is such a warrior anyway. —— she is such a warrior anyway. —— she is such a warrior. but they are good although it took a long time. what would use it as a man who has been through something similar or had dark times recovering from something so traumatic it has changed their life forever? it is about taking each day as it comes, i think, not trying to think about the future. that was me for such a long time. i wished my life away, i wanted it to fast forward the two years and i think that is a sad way to look at things, take each day as it comes, things, take each day as it comes, things will get better, it is all about timing. as long as you have people to support you and also it is important to talk about it. katie, it has been an absolute pleasure to have you here. you are amazing. we wish you all the best for the future. thank you so much in. the

remarkable katie gee. coming up... the latest ons figures on drugs—related guests revealed seaside resorts are among the towns with the higest rates of deaths. we'll speak to michelle fraser. her son robert died of an overdose after taking the drug fentanyl. now, would you be able to name any of the symptoms of breast cancer? the answer is probably yes. but would you be able to name the five gynaecological cancers and any of the symptoms of them? if not — you're not alone. charities and campaigners say there is little awareness around many gynaecological health conditions. well, kath mazella, who had vulval cancer, is on a mission to try and change that with an ‘international gynaecological awareness day. she hopes to try to change the stigma and taboo around talking about women 5 health issues. with us is kath mazzella, also here is athena lamnisos

who's the chief executive of the eve appeal charity which raises awareness of all five gynaecological cancers and from norfolk we have rebecca reynolds whose mum died of ovarian cancer. welcome to you all. kath, what made you start raising awareness of this? i had you start raising awareness of this? ihada you start raising awareness of this? i had a rare gynaecological cancer, my clear choice and other glands removed and after that i went to women's organisations and no one talked gynaecology. then i found that my daughter had a condition i knew nothing about so i thought something needs to change. place an ad ina something needs to change. place an ad in a women's magazine and the stories that came back, i thought something isn't right, so that's why i've established the international gynaecological or days a week and have some understanding. women have a confusion about which bit is the kath and which bidders the regina.

if we could start at that dash which bidders the volvo and which bit is the regina. if we could give a voice to women, hundreds of women with gynaecological conditions? let's bring in rebecca. you supported your mum through a cancer, what are the symptoms? they are rather quiet. mum had slight floating but she was 52 and she just put it down to one of those things. then she got excruciating pain, like a stitch down her right hand side. that was the main reason she actually went to the main reason she actually went to the doctor in the end, because the pains were erratic and constant. completely debilitating for her

quite often, during the week. it didn't take long for her to go once she was in pain. such quiet symptoms, you don't often know or realise, or you put it down to something else. do you think if there was more information and awareness, the kind of thing is trying to do around gynaecological cancers, when your mum was diagnosed, things might have been different? when she was diagnosed, we didn't know much about it at all. we did know much about the prospects, we didn't know much about what would have to happen. now we do, but maybe that is because we put ourselves into a place whereby we find out. i work a lot with fundraising and we've got a different stance on it now. but that the time we didn't know very much

and we did know what was going to happen. i think now, building awareness isjust happen. i think now, building awareness is just the first happen. i think now, building awareness isjust the first place happen. i think now, building awareness is just the first place to be, you know. most people cannot name parts, most people don't know the parts of their bodies, most people don't even use those words! it is all in those areas people feel embarrassed about going to talk about, even to their doctor. that is the bit you need to build up, the awareness, the information. rebecca raises a good point, why do we not talk about it more? absolutely. there is some fundamental issues that rebecca has brought up. there are five gynaecological cancers, they have different signs and symptoms. this is about basic body knowledge and women and men are not aware of gynaecological health

issues or what the body parts are called. if you don't know what is normal for you, it is hard to spot what is not normal and seek medical advice. are you surprised by that in this day and age? we have greater communication, we talk about things more openly, there is the internet and social media. there are particular things around women's gynaecological health that people find squeamish and they need to get over themselves. it is different in men's reproductive health, they can look down and see their organs, ours are between our legs or in our pelvis, very hidden. we have come to understand what body shaming is in the conventional sense, too fat, too thin. we understand it, and it is wrong but there is a body shaming with women's health and they are

embarrassed. rebecca used an interesting phrase, women often put their health concerns to the gynaecological sense, down to one of those things. when a woman finally gets to the doctor, she is notjust taking those symptoms with her whether it is abnormal bleeding, pain, ora lump in the whether it is abnormal bleeding, pain, or a lump in the volvo, she's taking the shame and embarrassment. that carries through to screening. we are seeing a sign of uptake in screening. they are not too embarrassed to get a bikini wax but they are too embarrassed to get a cervical screening appointment. do you think something like this awareness day is helpful, do we need more? anything that normalises the conversation, normalises the language that talks about body parts in proper ways using proper language. if you go on to parenting

websites you can see acres of discussion around, my two—year—old daughter has started to point to pa rt of daughter has started to point to part of her body, what should we call it? call it what it is, do not make upa call it? call it what it is, do not make up a name, it isn't helpful in the long run. let's talk about some of those symptoms because for people watching, what are some of the symptoms? i had a lump, some women have irritations for years and sometimes given cream to fix it. but they are not getting a diagnosis from that. it is basically the irritations and the lumps and probably the bleeding. but i don't think the bleeding relates to volvo cancer as such but that is all i know about that. in terms of symptoms, it is lumps and bumps, being overly tired, all the usual things that are around your health but also specific things around bleeding, bleeding after sex, bleeding, bleeding after sex,

bleeding in between periods. post menace boreal —— postmenopausal bleeding, that isn't normal and it needs to be checked out. you have done a lot of campaigning to raise awareness and i imagine your mum would be very proud of what you do to raise awareness of these types of cancers? yes, she would be very, very proud. we did a huge dance for the first one, and she was still with us. since then, i have done a lot with the munch of march, which is time for tea so i want one on a bigger scale, make lots of cakes, invite lots of friends and the public to come and have a cup of tea andl public to come and have a cup of tea and i put out a lot of information about everything, get some of that awareness up and running and i find now that more people will talk to me

about it because they understand that i understand about it and they are not so embarrassed about talking to me, but maybe they wouldn't talk about it to somebody else, which is sad. what is nice that in the last few years there have been more men who are happy to talk about it, which i think is a really important gesture. that is a good point, do we need to get more men involved in the discussion? absolutely, we have do break culture around this issue number isn't about 51% of the population it is about everyone joining in that conversation. it is normalising it, we have done a great job in discussing men's health and we need to do or the citrus and strongerjob about normalising conversation about women's health, which i are more complex. sons,

brothers, the clinicians want to have normal conversations. ifi brothers, the clinicians want to have normal conversations. if i hear from one more doctor who says, someone came from one more doctor who says, someone came to from one more doctor who says, someone came to see me and from one more doctor who says, someone came to see me and they talked about their waterworks or down there and they couldn't tell me because they were too embarrassed. we need to move forward. it isn't normal to have a club on the desk, so tell us what this is?” normal to have a club on the desk, so tell us what this is? i lobbied for yea rs so tell us what this is? i lobbied for years about gynaecological awareness. i don't have any degrees but once i took a club into a women's organisation, straightaway they said will you speak about ghana logical health? it is a great way to get the community involved and we talk about things and there is a lot of fun talk about things and there is a lot offun in talk about things and there is a lot of fun in making these things. we have got a song we sing after it. it just makes it fun. that is what we need to do and that is how we break

down that a bill around gynaecological health.” down that a bill around gynaecological health. i will come to rebecca in a moment, but what more do you think needs to be done because obviously we haven't done enough up until now, so what would you like to see done as a matter of urgency? we need to normalise the conversation, we need to use normal language in the media and the way things are reported. not to call out the bbc, but hilariously, one of the aston is that came up about this subject, it came out as volvo, the car. if we are posting something on facebook, we are edited for using a simple word like regina. it is likely have used an expletive. it doesn't happen with men's reproductive organs. we need to do a lot to champion screening. we have a fantastic cervical screening

programme in this country and we need to push that. we need to really need to push that. we need to really need to push that. we need to really need to explain to girls and now boys, when they are being offered the hpv vaccine. we need to talk to them more widely about the issues and we need to get body knowledge and we need to get body knowledge and body awareness into the national curriculum and we have got a great opportunity with the sex education curriculum and revamp that is coming up. it is a huge opportunity, just to start the normal conversations at an early age and take them through the education system and get people at the key point of contact. when they are going to be vaccinated with hpv, when theirfirst they are going to be vaccinated with hpv, when their first smear test is coming up at the age of 24, that is when we need to communicate with people. it is not a surprise to them and it is a no—brainer they go along for those tests. rebecca, you have been doing a lot of campaigning,

what would you like to see more of to prevent things like this happening? i would like to see more, i would like to see adverts, if you like, coming up on facebook. i would like, coming up on facebook. i would like to see it in newspapers, i would like to be walking along and see it on a billboard. it isjust awareness and rather people going, you cannot use that word in public, it really needs to be something that everybody is happy to talk about. it is part of our body. we don't said this little thing in my face, we use the word i. it is a silly thing that needs to be overcome, we need to be talking about it and we need to have it around us. if we've got it around us, it becomes normalised and everybody is more happy about it. thank you all, i think the message has come through loud and clear.

thank you forjoining us this morning. ijust thank you forjoining us this morning. i just want to read thank you forjoining us this morning. ijust want to read a comment that has come in. sue has e—mailed and said, i can understand why women are not aware of the symptoms, but doctors? i went about six times in a year and no one spotted the symptoms. one said, at least it's not cancer! where can we go from this ridiculous situation, she says. do keep your comments coming in and if you are on social media, it is the hash tag victoria live. now time for the latest weather and lucy martin. the best of the sunshine to be found in the south and east. this sent in by some from lincolnshire. blue skies here but that is not the case of everybody. a grey and cloudy start in torbay. we are going to see a change and it will be fresh with temperatures falling closer to

take me through these figures? they area take me through these figures? they are a mixed bag but with interesting new developments. drug deaths following the misuse of fentanyl have gone up significantly by almost one third between 2016 and 2017. the caveat is that the actual number is quite small although it shows a trend that is emerging. overall in the uk 3700- odd trend that is emerging. overall in the uk 3700— odd drug poisoning deaths in england and wales. broadly the same as 2016 but within that, this rise in fentanyl. so 70 deaths from fenta nyl up from this rise in fentanyl. so 70 deaths from fentanyl up from 58 the year before, part of a pattern of concern. fentanyl before, part of a pattern of concern. fenta nyl is before, part of a pattern of concern. fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, the science behind a drug thatis opioid, the science behind a drug that is used for instance with cancer patients, and is incredibly potent and strong. there's been

imaging intelligence from the national crime agency that it's being reduced in laboratories in china and elsewhere, it is being illegally shipped into the uk and sold on the dark web. it can be bought directly for use but is often mixed with other drugs like heroin. that is of significant cause of concern to the police investigating this. overall, cocaine, 432 deaths in 2017 is quite a big portion there. some interesting regional figures, the north—east of england has a significantly higher rate of deaths than any other part of the country. so you have 83 deaths per million from accidental drug deaths in the north—east of england, more than three times the rate in london. some real regional disparities. so lots of complex things going on. you also mention trends and have deaths from party drugs condom? yes, this

relates to new psychoactive substances. people used to call these, before they were effectively banned, as legal highs, drugs again produced in laboratories to mimic cannabis or other drugs effectively marketed as recreational drugs, notwithstanding how dangerous they can be. the best known of those is spice, a drug which has caused appalling problems in prison up and down the country. deaths from those new psychoactive substances have fallen. we had 123 deaths from new psychoactive su bsta nces fallen. we had 123 deaths from new psychoactive substances in 2016, it's now down to around 60. an interesting shift. i don't know why, will have to find out what is behind that. would try to do that. dominic, thank you. with me is harry shapiro, he's the director of drugwise. it's a charity that provides information about drugs. and also with me is michelle fraser. her son robert died of an overdose after taking the drug fentanyl. and joining us now via

webcam from bournemouth, a seaside resort which has been particularly badly affected by drug—related deaths, is councillor jane kelly of bournemouth borough council. welcome to you all. thank you for joining us on the programme. dominic spoke about figures but behind all of those stats is a family. a family that has lost someone. michelle, to us about robert and what happened to him? —— tell us? us about robert and what happened to him? -- tell us? robert went with his friends to buy cannabis because he was upset because my mum had just died a couple of weeks before. the person they bought the cannabis from also gave them a double wrapped white package and said, try that, it is along the lines of mdma. the boys ought to get on tuesday evening they told me and had a bad reaction. the night robert died he did not take

fe nta nyl, night robert died he did not take fentanyl, he did prepare it to tape and when his dad went in on saturday 19th, in the morning to wake to ask him to walk the dogs he found robert stead in the bed. he called me, i got straight there. —— he found him dead. the police took the drugs they found in his straightaway, tested it, the first test was inconclusive so they've sent to the analysis. when it came back three months later they said the drug they had taken from robert's room was called fe nta nyl. from robert's room was called fentanyl. down from robert's room was called fenta nyl. down in from robert's room was called fentanyl. down in our seaside town we had not heard of it. kent police did not hear of it either, so they googled it to find out what it was. so you had no idea? no. when i looked into what it was and the statistics in canada and america it is frightening. i understand it is designed for the good use. had you ever talked to your son about drugs?

yes, we talked to him. he used to tell me that some of his friends we re tell me that some of his friends were playing with mdma and things like that. i knew that he had taken cannabis which was why he was staying with his dad because i've got a five—year—old son who was three at the time so i couldn't have drugs in the house with a toddler so robert was staying with his dad while he sorted himself out and i was nursing my mum at the time. we know you've been campaigning. harry, could talk to you about fentanyl? how much fentanyl can kill someone because this is stronger than a class a drug isn't it. yes, there's a whole family of fentanyl drugs. and if you like the sort of fentanyl that has been creeping into british heroin supplies is about a hundred times stronger, there are some varieties, there's one that's about a thousand times stronger. it is so strong that you only need a micro

amount of the drug to be added to a sample of heroin to make it even more fatal than a dose of heroin could be. suggest handling it? in some cases some first responders had a reaction to it. just handling it. the main reaction is that when people unwittingly inject it thinking it is part of their ordinary heroin supply, and fatal results, as we have heard, can happen. are you surprised that deaths from fentanyl have gone up? not particularly, i'm afraid. most of those heroin deaths, if you look at the figures, will be in an older age group of users who have been using for a long time. the body is beginning to bang up against the fa ct beginning to bang up against the fact that they are getting older. they have probably been drinking and smoking for a long time as well. the problem is that if fentanyl begins

to creep into the heroin supply in any significant amounts, you will find younger heroin users and also people using it unwittingly. i suspected even the guy who sold your summer suspected even the guy who sold your summer powder had no idea what... what it you thought it would be anything like. we have heard of supplies getting into cocaine. weird stuff. very unusual trends. hopefully we'll get nothing like what has been going on in the usa and canada but fentanyl could be a game changer in terms of the heroin trade. you have been campaigning to get sentencing change? you have been campaigning to get sentencing change ?” you have been campaigning to get sentencing change? i attended parliament in june. it sentencing change? i attended parliament injune. it is getting the sentencing people to increase prison sentences for people providing, selling and distributing

class a drugs. they doubled it to a minimum of six years now, instead a minimum of six years now, instead a minimum of six years now, instead a minimum of three. we have it included that thejudge minimum of three. we have it included that the judge will be made aware of the potency of the drug. because fentanyl aware of the potency of the drug. because fenta nyl is aware of the potency of the drug. because fentanyl is a class a drug, but is 50, to 100 times stronger. so judges will take that into account. changing the law takes years but you did this in less than eight months? it was the 4th of october when i walked into my local mp‘s office and explained what had happened to robert and how serious this drug was. i said we needed to do something and then on the 10th of june we managed to get it. i attended the debate in parliament, thinking that was just what it was, a debate. the speaker of the house advised as it had been done, we got

it through in seven and a half months. does that show what a pressing matter this is? it shows what can happen if there is political will. what can happen if there is politicalwill. medicinal what can happen if there is political will. medicinal cannabis has been a issue for a lot of people. politicians get involved and the media get involved and things can move quickly. but bearing in mind, serious organised crime regards prison and things like that, it isjust regards prison and things like that, it is just an occupational hazard, the price of doing business. i hope it would make some difference to dealing on the ground, but we will have to wait and see. let's bring in jane kelly from bournemouth, what do you make of this change you have heard here? in bournemouth, we do have a couple of areas of deprivation in the town. we are a very attractive people for transient

people, being a seaside town it is a lovely place to come and stay and live for a while. unfortunately it does bring people who do have addiction problems. i don't have any figures on fentanyl, but we have had some drug—related deaths unfortunately. but each death does have a very confidential and comprehensive review done every time, so we can be sure that we can understand exactly what happened and why. and really knowing, as you said before, there is a family behind every person to whom this happens, a loving family who are devastated at the loss of their family member. we look very carefully to see if we can learn anything and engage more with people. that is key, trying to talk to people to see where they are getting their drugs from, why they are doing it and if they can

possibly see themselves coming in for treatment. it is a huge barrier, to get people to come to a point where they don't want to do this any more. it is very difficult, particularly if they are drinking at the same time and very many people have mental health problems which prevent them from saying that actually coming into treatment would help them. but we have a recovery cafe at the local hostel for rough sleepers. in there, there is access to health care and workshops and we are trying... august is going to be the overdose awareness month in bournemouth. so we are going to push the information about harm reduction to try to keep people safe. thank you. finally, michelle, if you relu cta ntly you. finally, michelle, if you reluctantly accept that young people are going to take drugs, what do you think about campaigns that you know,

help teach them about drug—taking at festivals, the take half approach, do you support that? it is something i will be interested in hearing more about. there is a charity called the loop and i would like to see more of what they do. unfortunately taking drugs is a massive trend at the moment and we need to make them more aware of what they are doing. any education has got to be a good one. thank you all very much indeed. we do appreciate your time. the family of the third young person from britain to die at an apartment block in magaluf have told this programme they were shocked by the lack of support they received from the uk authorities after he died. 18—year—old tom channon 5 body was found at the eden roc apartments last month. it is believed he fell over a knee—high wall and plunged 70

feet to the ground, five weeks after a 20—year—old died in similar circumstances. his parents have been talking to our reporter, anna collinson. there was a thud, a real thud at the door. i went out and there were two policemen there. and i just felt something was wrong. you don't get policemen coming to your door if not. and ijust looked at them and said is it ceri or is it tom? and those horrible words, "are you the father of..." as soon as he said that i knew there was something really really bad. and that really was it. you know. i came in, and i had to try to break the news to his brothers, who were clearly then distraught. i'm trying to comfort them but at the same time, the policeman was saying that i had to contact ceri. i'd had a missed call so i rang straight back. it's one of those things you never

forget word for word. john said to me, there's been a terrible accident. it's tom. and he didn't make it. and i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe it. and i still to this day don't believe it. i still think it is a bad nightmare and tom's going to come home. i think you can't believe, you've got to meet that call. and the other thing for me, i was just helpless, i could hear ceri on the other end of the phone and you could imagine how awful it was. 1,300 miles away from their son, the channons were desperate for answers. they assumed this is where the british authorities would step in and help. we had no idea how, was it on a beach, on a boat trip, had he banged his head? was it a heart attack? we had no information at all. the police officers who came were absolutely fantastic. they were kind, caring, considerate. but unfortunately when they had to go, it was only then

that we discovered really to our horror, that there was no support. no support officer came in, no liaison officer, no one who then followed up after they left. john and ceri eventually got through to the consulate from majorca and say they were made to wait for hours to support and information. they eventually found out the truth about tom's death through his friends. i think people watching would be shocked that that is how you were treated, and that you were sort of left... we were shocked, with a shot. we were shocked, with a shocked. it was unbelievable. absolutely unbelievable that, the most important time of your lives there wasn't somebody there to say, this is who you need to contact and this is who will be coming to guide

you through the whole process. we can speak to alun cairns, he's the channon family's local mp who the family say was a great support to them. also with us is sean tipton from the association of british travel agents and tim blackman, who's from the lucie blackman trust, it exists to support british nationals in crisis overseas. ifi if i can turn to you first, tim. we heard the family say at the most important time of their lives, there wasn't someone that saying this is what you need to do, what is your reaction to that? this is a sad situation and from the point of view of the police liaison officers, they only get involved in cases which have a criminal element to them. if there is a murder, for example, the police liaison officers are straight on that. the lucie blackman trust, we deal with a couple of thousand families a year, helping and supporting them through this situation as a result of experience

i had situation as a result of experience ihad in situation as a result of experience i had in tokyo. generally, families are signposted to organisations like ours for support and it is really sad, on this occasion it hasn't happened. someone who did support the family is alun cairns and he joins us now. good to see you. you have been supporting the family, as we mentioned, who had many, many questions. tell us about your involvement? the first contact i had was from a family friend who hike had supported previously. that made me get in touch with the family immediately. i had to understand the situation because every situation is different. having had similar cases in the past where there has been the need for international consular support, i understood the process. i could get in touch with the foreign office, challenged the foreign office, challenged the foreign office in terms of the support they we re office in terms of the support they were giving. from having spoken to

the family in detail, the first phase was there in initial challenge and frustration in order to find out what support they could expect. secondly, the support when they went to me your was positive, they were looked after in a much better way. i think as soon as they got through the initial challenge and as the local mp, the initial challenge and as the localmp, i the initial challenge and as the local mp, i could assist in making sure i spoke to the right people, because as a member of parliament, i have the resources and the know— how of how to speak to the foreign office and speak to the right people in order constituents get support, be it in the uk or in the overseas territory. i will come back to you ina territory. i will come back to you in a moment, but clearly alan got involved but you cannot comment on this specific case, but what is the protocol if someone from great britain, one of their loved one dies abroad? it is a very sad story and i

feel for the parents. if you look at the numberof feel for the parents. if you look at the number of british national 's who travel abroad each year, it is in the millions. mercifully, accidents and incidents are rare but when they do happen, it can result in tragic fatalities like this and people will not know what to do. there will be a contact at the foreign office who will point you in the right direction. go on to their website and it is clearly laid out. but the first thing, contact the foreign office. if it is one of your family or friends who has died abroad, the foreign office will contact abroad, the foreign office will co nta ct a abroad, the foreign office will contact a local police officer who is experienced in breaking this news as gently as possible. if you are on as gently as possible. if you are on a package holiday or one of your family is on a package holiday, we would expect the tour operator to provide as much assistance as possible. the problem will be, more people are travelling independently so people are travelling independently so they don't have the extra level

of protection at tour operator will offer. i will say what the foreign office have said, they said we are assisting the family of a british man who has died in majorca and they are in contact with the spanish authorities. this is a situation when he was only five weeks earlier and another boy fell to his death in and another boy fell to his death in a similar apartment. yet it was weeks before the fence was put up? yes, i pay tribute to mr & mrs channon. they fought to get the fence put up. the next stage is getting a permanent solution but also to ensure someone is held accountable for the lack of

action taking place in the interim from the previous treasury that occurred weeks earlier. therefore, since then i have been in touch with the mayor's office and i have had two communications from him. the first was from where he advised what the actions they were planning on taking and the foreign office will have been raising that with them as well. there is now temporary measures in place and they are also expecting permanent measures to be put in place. that seems to be progressing as we expect. what irritates me by so many of these cases and having read about a number of them, is there is almost a dismissal that alcohol is to blame and therefore it is their own fault. that is unacceptable. every circumstance is different and having seen circumstance is different and having seen the photographs, having spoken to people on the ground, the circumstance of tom channon and the way in which he tragically died, is

because there was a small wall, a 70 foot drop behind it, lighting is poon foot drop behind it, lighting is poor, covered in foliage and it looks like a short cut back to their hotel and that is the issue that we need to make sure people didn't act on that in the past because of the previous incidents and somebody needs to be held accountable for the lack of health and safety measures that should have taken place. either originally was subsequently following the first tragedy in that location. 0k, mr ok, mrcairns, the ok, mr cairns, the bbc has repeatedly tried to contact those responsible for the eden roc resort, with no success. no response from them. south wales police say they don't want to but are happy to a nswer don't want to but are happy to answer specific questions from the family on the case. finally, tim, your heart goes out to the channon family, doesn't it? if there was one bit one bit of support or advice from your experience, that could be

offered to families in that situation, what would it be?” offered to families in that situation, what would it be? i know personally what it's like to lose a child in circumstances like these. i know exactly how the channon family and other families feel. know exactly how the channon family and otherfamilies feel. in know exactly how the channon family and other families feel. in terms of advice as to the best thing to do i think going to their local mp was extremely good and it seems like he has a lot of these matters covered. i would say you just have to be tenacious in finding who you need to be speaking to, and our door is open at the trust, if they want us to do anything for them we will be happy too. thank you to you all for your time. thank you. still to come. we'll speak to emily benn, the grandaughter of tony benn, who has been villifed online after calling for jeremy corbyn to resign. time for the latest news, here's ben brown.

in the labour party is just not going away. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has again apologised for the hurt caused tojewish people. in a video message, he also admitted labour had been too slow in dealing with disciplinary cases. but the fresh apology so far seems to have done nothing to halt the long running controversy, with mr corbyn's deputy tom watson warning the party faces "eternal shame" over the issue. there have now been calls for him to resign. our political correspondent ben wrightjoins us from westminster. and picks this, ben? list toxic row about anti—semitism within the labour ranks has been going on for a long time, almost two years. jeremy corbyn has been facing questions about what he's doing. it's become a kid in the last couple of months particularly since the labour executive committee decided last july not to adopt all the internationally recognised definitions of anti—semitism and then a decision, some mps who have

actually lost gra nd pa rents then a decision, some mps who have actually lost grandparents holocaust criticising the party. it's not going away, jeremy corbyn has tried to defuse and first an article, here isa to defuse and first an article, here is a snippet of what he said. i've spent my life campaigning for a multicultural society and building recognition of the strength of our diversity. jewish people have been at the heart of our party and our movement throughout our history. no one should dismiss the concerns they've expressed about what's been happening in the party, the party i am proud to lead. driving anti—semitism out of the party for good and working with the jewish community to rebuild trust our vital priorities. i'm sorry for the hurt that's been caused too manyjewish people. we have been too slow in processing disciplinary cases of mostly online, anti—semitic abuse by party members. we are acting to speed this process up. these words from mr corbyn that have

left many mps and the main people mac groups and impressed, they want to see —— the mainjewish groups not impressed. they want to see action. and on line one mp faced tremendous criticism because he said the party was in crisis because of this issue. thank you, ben. joining me now is emily benn, the granddaughter of the renowned labour mp tony benn, who has been called a "disgusting tory mouthpiece" by internet trolls for calling on the party's leader to resign. welcome, are you surprised by this? i'm slightly surprised, it might be underestimating my history in the party and having been a labour candidate. mostly i am upset and sad because the level of online abuse you get when you speak out about any

issue in the party, and i have faced some personal stuff in the last couple of days, it shows how intolera nt couple of days, it shows how intolerant the party has become and it's not party a joined 14 years ago. the focus seems to be on shaming you through your grandfather in the space of a few hours yesterday i had people saying, he's turning in his grave, he is disgusted, you would be ashamed of me. ican disgusted, you would be ashamed of me. i can laugh it off because it's silly but it just me. i can laugh it off because it's silly but itjust shows how people think it's acceptable to behave like this in this climate, fellow party members who think it is acceptable to speak like this. we can see some of these tweets. how do you feel at being targeted, not only in an abusive way but by labour party supporters who are supposed to share the same values and ideals? the party has become so intolerant, delete comments and tell you to get cancer and stuff and apparently think it is acceptable. it's

damaging and incredibly toxic. when i was growing up the party was a family and we treated each other with respect and dignity. it is so sad that we are being tracked into the gutter like this. the party should be a space for respectful debate, my views are different from my grandfather's but that does not meani my grandfather's but that does not mean i should be told to go away and join the tory party. we saw a snippet ofjeremy corbyn ‘s apology to the hurt caused tojewish people and he admitted that the party was too slow in dealing with disciplinary cases. does that satisfy you? at and think it satisfies many members of thejewish community, the people who have been most affected by this crisis in the party. for too longer the labour party seems to have gone after people who are trying to fight anti—semitism rather than the

anti—semitic people. it seems there's huge work to do. i never thought for a i would feel i was a member of an institutional anti—semitic party which is at the moment how i do. someone who has close jewish relatives who are incredibly hurt by this it is a ridiculous situation we have got ourselves in. a lot of comments have called for deputy leader tom watson also to resign. again it speaks to the view of some in the party that if you disagree with jeremy the view of some in the party that if you disagree withjeremy corbyn at all or try to fight anti—semitism, as tom watson was doing, you need to get out. it's almost becoming a personality cult which is not healthy and not good for politics or the party. labour needs to get a grip of this. jeremy corbyn has been slow for many years to deal with this issue and i'm afraid he still has a lot of work to

do. should he resign? if he wants to remain bdp should tackle this crisis with real action. in the fade even that video message in my opinion is not enough. thank you for your time today. six people have been arrested in venezuela for involvement in an apparent assassination attempt, by drone attack, against president nicol s maduro. since assuming office in 2013, mr maduro's administration has drawn widespread international condemnation for undermining democracy and violating human rights in his country. here's a reminder of how this situation developed. the attempted assassination of venezuela's president comes as the country is mired in a deep, economic crisis that is driving hundreds of thousands of venezuelans from their homes. so what's gone wrong? many state oil is at the root of all venezuela's problems. the country is rich in oil and has the largest proven reserves in the world. oil reserves account for about 95% of venezuelan's export earnings. so when the oil price was high, money was flowing into the government's coffers. when socialist president

hugo chavez was in power, he used some of the money to finance generous social programmes to reduce inequality and poverty. but when oil prices dropped sharply in 2014, the government was suddenly faced with a gaping hole in its finances. but oil is not the only problem. many of hugo chavez's policies have backfired. for example, he introduced price controls to make basic goods more affordable, so the price of items like flour and toiletries were capped, but it caused businesses to go bust and it led to shortages. the government, at the time, also took complete control of the country's finance system, which meant when venezuelans wanted to exchange the local currency for dollars, they had to apply to the government. with many venezuelans unable to freely buy foreign currency, the black markets flourished and inflation rose. the country's annual inflation rate is currently the world's hires. inflation is when prices rise for goods and services. in the uk, the inflation rate is around 2.4%. in venezuela in april,

it was estimated to be 18,000%! when the inflation rate is that high, people start hoarding things like food and fuel, which has also led to shortages. even though the oil price is rising and there is some hope, the problem is, hundreds and thousands have left venezuela, leading to a brain drain. there are also allegations of widespread corruption and the government's hostile attitude towards private businesses has alienated potential foreign investors. that is why there are so many fingers been pointed by so many people at who tried to kill venezuela's president. so who could be behind this? or was it all a stunt as some are claiming. let's discuss this more, in our newcastle studio we have dr michael derham. good morning to you. it is hard, is not, to get clarity on events in a like venezuela. what is your

thinking behind who is behind it? it's difficult at the moment because it only happened on saturday. six people have been arrested. donald trump has gone on record as saying, why can't we invade venezuela? so the united states would really like some regime change. venezuela is one of the biggest suppliers of oil to the united states. and so a lot of the united states. and so a lot of the problems start from there. there's been an economic boycott, if you like, of venezuela so it makes it difficult for them to do business in dollars and therefore to pay for imports. there's also the problem of differential prices between venezuela and its neighbours, whereby things are available in venezuela, which had been brought in by the government very cheaply, and yet in other countries around about, they are more expensive so people are taking these two neighbouring

countries like colombia and selling them at a profit, like they are doing with the dollars which are available. they are paying for them in venezuelan currency, getting the dollars and then exchanging them for a big profit. so there are lots of things going and there but i think the main driver behind this is regime change. this is a precarious position and for the many people living there, thousands of people have left the country. there are food shortages, medicine shortages, how do you see the future unfolding?” medicine shortages, how do you see the future unfolding? i predicted something like this year ago. i think it might, this type of thing will carry on. we had another occasion a couple of years ago when a helicopter flew over a occasion a couple of years ago when a helicopterflew over a government building and was dropping hand grenades. this type of thing will

carry on. there will be more riots by students, supposedly students and other people on the streets. lots of civil unrest. the endgame, i am not sure? president maduro was re—elected in may. when people say it isa re—elected in may. when people say it is a precarious regime, it has only been in for a couple of months. if the opposition actually played the political game and got involved in elections, maybe things would sort themselves out. however, the opposition, several times now, have said we are not getting involved in these elections. so you lead the country wide open of accusations saying it is not a fair election, it isa saying it is not a fair election, it is a dictatorship. the opposition have two step up to the plate. the problem is, the opposition isjust a front to get rid of the regime. it

hasn't got any coherent policies, it is an alliance of several parties, some of which have been in power in the past between 1958 and 1998 and made a mess of the country. lots of people are not looking forward to them coming back into power. many thanks for your insights into the situation in venezuela at the moment. you are welcome. a warning now that we're about to talk about a difficult subject — self harm. the number of girls under the age of 18 being treated in hospital in england after self—harming has nearly doubled in 20 years, according to nhs figures. charities like the nspcc have warned that the sharp rise among young girls is due to the pressures of school work and social media. so why are more teenage girls self harming than ever before? let's find out more about the issue. nikki mattocks is 21 and was diagnosed with post—traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder and depressive disorder when she was 14. jade laurie—hart in birmingham,

was diagnosed with depression at 16. we can also get a perspective from a former teacher, alison robertson, she taught 11 to 18—year—olds and started self—harming when she was just six—years—old. and we can also hear from dr terri apter, a psychologist and researcher on girls‘ development and women‘s psychology. ifi if i can turn to you first, when did you first begin to feel things weren‘t feeling right for you? you first begin to feel things weren't feeling right for you? can you leave me alone for a moment please. sorry. when did you first realise things weren‘t feeling right for you? i was 14 and i experienced a traumatic event. i started to go ona a traumatic event. i started to go on a downward spiral. i will self—harming, hearing voices and i was really quite suicidal. that is

when i realise this isn‘t quite right, this isn‘t normal. when i realise this isn‘t quite right, this isn't normal. jade, i wa nt to right, this isn't normal. jade, i want to ask you a similar question, how were you feeling and was anyone else aware of what you are doing? when i first started self— harming, it was at the very beginning of what now has become along and torturous journey. but my friends and family had no idea. also the level it escalated over the years. at the beginning, it was definitely... this harm in self harming is the pressure

of school? it oversimplifies the issue. we're not talking about one issue, it is a complex issue that involves a lot of different things. but it is are contributing factor because young people are feeling that it splits you are from your body. when you need to cope with things sometimes you have to put yourself back in your body and a wound or pain does that effectively. i also think the school system is unbelievably stressful. it was stressful enough when i was going through it and it is ten times worse now. i can see you nodding there? yes, it is very true what she is saying. for me, sometimes because of what i was experiencing whether it was stress from school or stress

from social media, whether it be stress from the association or anything like that, it was a way for me to, you know, get myself back to who i was, in a way. what she‘s saying, i completely agree with it. why are teenage girls more susceptible to self harm? we have to look at self harm quite broadly. we have heard from you right now, two powerful stories about self harm, but it can mean many different things to many different people. it can be a way of self punishment, i deserve to be punished so i will hurt myself. it can be an expression ofangeroran hurt myself. it can be an expression of anger or an expression of the inner pain one feels. it can be, sometimes depression makes you feel ghosted and you need to feel real

and feel in pain is one way of feeling pain. we know girls use social media more intensively than boys. 77% of girls will text daily. more importantly in this context, more girls post photos of themselves on any of the social media sites and at the same time they say they like posting photos of themselves, they worry about being humiliated by those photos. they worry about criticism and they spend more time modifying those photos. the difficulty in saying why is it girls more than boys? we are not sure what these numbers mean. the doubling of hospital treatments of social media

does coincide over the past 20 years, does coincide with a rise of social media. but it also coincides with the rise of understanding that self harm is a mental health problem, that it's notjust you and there are ways of treating it. but boys, men, still seemed to be more relu cta nt boys, men, still seemed to be more reluctant to add met this kind of problem. the question of the impact of social media are on girls' dissatisfaction and anxiety is real and this is something educators, parents and psychologists want to find some way to address, some way of modifying that mindset of social media. what girls have said to me, when they are looking at photos of themselves and other people on social media, they are comparing

their insides with other people's outsides. but the people seem slick, confident and well defined, but their insides feel diffused and even messy. so that increases their self dissatisfaction and potentially put them in harm's way, that they want to punish themselves.” them in harm's way, that they want to punish themselves. i want to bring injade to punish themselves. i want to bring in jade and to punish themselves. i want to bring injade and becky. does that ring true to you? you have touched on lots of things. it isn't black and white and it is a common misconception people will only self harm for attention. seven times out of ten, that isn't the case. it is a personal thing, it is about control or trying to keep control over all of the emotional turmoil we are in. it is about some form of relief,

that you can be in control as opposed to children and adults, like myself, hallucinations, hearing voices, being told what to do, what not to do. the pain and suffering. we need to shout out to everybody but we can't, because of the shame. one way to pull it back and get control, it is done by bleeding, self—harming. control, it is done by bleeding, self-harming. is there anything that someone self-harming. is there anything that someone could have done that would have perhaps prevented you from self—harming? have perhaps prevented you from self-harming? you don't always have to be an expert. it could have just been at the time i was losing a lot of friends so it have been simple as a friend inviting me out or a friend being there for me. even when i did

have friends, i was still self—harming and it was a case of someone self—harming and it was a case of someone reaching out to me saying, i know you are not ok, please talk to me about what is going on. sometimes help from friends isn‘t enough and you need professional support. i think if professionals got in early, maybe in terms of prevention, rather than helping me when i was in crisis, then it would have helped a lot more. thank you so much. i will leave it there but thank you for being so candid, especiallyjade and nikki. we appreciate your time. thank you so much. and if you want to speak to anyone, or need some support, after hearing the issues we‘ve just been discussing, you can find all the information you need at the bbc action line website. that‘s at bbc.co.uk/actionline. thank you so much for getting in
